Also, 35 posts in 11 years is equally amazing!

I suppose I lurk more than most. :)

I still want an HD2 just to play around with one. About to pick one up on craigslist. Anything I should look for besides the usual water damage sticker and and such? Thanks. And how much should I expect to pay?

I don't know what to look for in a used HD2, I bought mine shortly after release. I will say that if you intend to use it much, I would get an extended battery for it. If I remember correctly, the stock battery wouldn't last 8hrs just listening to music.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with Android 2.3.6 which has the crappy TouchWiz UI.

I had used CyanogenMod 7.1 but it found it had issues with stability, although it was fast, i'm waiting for CyanogenMod 9 but it would be good to find a stock ROM without TouchWiz just don't know where to look.

I'm also hoping to aquire an Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc very soon.

**Update**

I installed AOKP ICS Milestone 5 based on 4.0.4 and i have to say its really excellent, its fast and fluid, the only bug that i know of is the slow GPS lock but it should be fixed in upcoming releases.

If you don't know about AOKP then check it out http://forum.aokp.co/page/news

Galaxy Nexus with stock 4.0.1 (probably won't see 4.0.4 officially since Telstra won't release it, claiming "we are not entitled to it").

EDIT: Before people say it, I know I can root it and update it to 4.0.4 myself but as I said in another thread I'd rather keep my warranty. Towards the end of the 2 year contract (only just started this one) I will probably tinker with custom ROMs then like I did with my HTC Desire.

Makes me glad I bought the SIM free Galaxy Nexus then, the yakju version, so I get all my updates direct from Google. No carriers making stupid excuses why I won't get any updates.

Yeah, unfortunately the only way I can afford such a phone like the Galaxy Nexus is to get it on a 2 year contract. So as much as it sucks, I just grin and bear it :p However, if Telstra keep this "not entitled" attitude up, I might decide to root sooner then later (I mean really, the main appeal of the Galaxy Nexus is it's a pure Google experience that is first to be updated and then Telstra go around and claim they don't have to update it..a class action lawsuit was filed but thrown out of court.)
